50 Cent has once again stirred conversation around his involvement in Sean Combs: The Reckoning, hinting that a recent ABC appearance may have been designed specifically so Diddy could catch it from behind bars.

The rapper shared a viral post claiming he chose ABC because it’s among the few networks reportedly available to inmates.

Instead of denying the suggestion, he leaned into it with a tongue-in-cheek response, calling out the irony and fueling speculation that he wanted to deliver his commentary directly to his longtime rival.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

In the interview itself, 50 Cent referred to Diddy as his “favorite villain” but insisted their history has never involved real hostility. He emphasized that he has worked with Combs’ sons on multiple projects and rejected the narrative that their differences are personal or violent. According to him, the public perception of a two-decade feud is exaggerated.

Still, his continued trolling of the embattled music mogul has kept fans talking, especially as Diddy faces mounting legal issues and fights claims that the docuseries team illegally acquired footage.

50 Cent has repeatedly said that his role as executive producer is not an act of revenge, telling GQ that silence within hip-hop pushed him to support the project. He added that if he wanted the documentary to reflect a personal agenda, its focus would have looked very different.

The rapper also joked online that Diddy sent him flowers after the docuseries aired, a claim most observers see as another deliberate provocation.

Whether or not Diddy actually watched the ABC interview remains unknown, but 50 Cent seems more than happy to keep the spotlight, and the pressure, squarely on his longtime industry rival.
